This book explores how the authors approached the issue of community development in the context of competing interests and a differential power imbalance. They used a process-based model for supporting community transformation, a phenomenon in which university–community partnership is but one example.

The people who will want to read and use Beyond the Campus are faculty (e.g., executive coaches and consultants), staff, and action-focused researchers seeking to learn how to enhance their relationships with community leaders (e.g., principals, executive/programme directors, teachers and parents) in urban educational settings.
